The Only Way to Know-15 Days to Go


My biggest fear is missing the cut off on the bike. 10.5 hours after the start of the race, you must have finished the bike section, or you are finished. You are disqualified and cannot start the run.

So I decided to see how long it would take me to ride 112 miles.
Answer: 8 hours 15 minutes.
(Is that good?)
Yes it is. I spent the day on the bike watching the sun cross the sky. It was a long day, but now I can make my prediction for the race:

90 minutes for the swim
10 minutes for transition (Gotta get changed)
8 hours 20 minutes for the bike
That will put me 30 minutes ahead of the cut off and leave me 7 hours to do the run.
Based on how I have been running, I predict that the 26.2 miles of the run will take 6 hours.
Stay tuned...
